Default 2wd to 4wd

is that the only way to do it is what is listed in the faq2? or could i do a SAS and put a new trans and transfer case on my current truck and drive shaft? i really hate that my truck is 2wd but i dont have the option to do a frame swap like Crazy did.....i guess i could save up and buy a 4wd one with a v8 for the same damn price or a jeep lol

by the time you pay for parts, you could buy another truck or jeep. they are cheap enough.

I love my 93 ZJ. only thing i hate about it is it has cv axles. im gonna swap em with cherokee ujoint axle.

Well it all depends on you. If you don't want to do a frame swap. Then a SAS is just about it. But that is TONS more work with cutting and welding then the frame swap. The frame swap was a direct bolt in for the most part. Then your next option is to buy a 4wd. The other thing is to swap in the front half of the frame. Then weld it up to the old frame.
